Also, Islamabad High Court issued a notice to Attorney General Salman Butt over the plea against the decision of special court regarding Pervez Musharraf’s treason case. Justice Athar Minallah remarked that the special court has a similar status to that of the high court; therefore, its decision can’t be challenged.
During the hearing of the petition, the petitioner Asif argued that the decision to include in the trial, the co-accused in Musharraf’s treason case should be made void. Musharraf’s trial should be completed soon and the trial of co-accused should be held separately. He said that the decision was violating the legal requirements and would benefit Musharraf.
